G'day fellow cyclists,
I am new to this forum and this is my first post.
Currently I am building a MTB from the frame up, this is my first build project. Coming back to cycling after 7 years, this will be a challenge and a learning stage to gain more in-depth knowledge on mountain bikes. I have been actively searching for used/new parts on a few forums and post updates of my build on my blog (http://www.mydiymtb.blogspot.com). In the long run, I'm looking to learn how to maintain my bike as well. I have not started putting parts together yet, and will begin doing that in about a week or two. Pictures of parts I'm planning to buy, and parts that I have acquired are also on the blog.
I would love to hear you feedback and ideas regarding the build and parts that I am considering to get. Feel free to post links, comments and suggestions on the blog or forum. The main purpose of the blog is to document the build and learn from comments and suggestions that readers / forum members give. This will be the learning cycle of the build.
During the past few days I have come across numerous problems which I have blogged, which I hope I can get some feedback from.
I have acquired an On-One Inbred 26er 16" frame, Marzocchi Bomber forks, SRAM Cassette and a few other parts in the past two weeks. Your comments and suggestions will definitely help in the building process.
Hope to hear from you guys soon.
Cheers!
